West End Wednesday

Expect music from British-born favourites including Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Blood Brothers, Billy Elliot, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Matilda, Six, Oliver!, Half a Sixpence, and plenty more — alongside songs from the legendary British composers and creatives who have shaped musical theatre for generations. From sweeping West End ballads and classic showstoppers to irreverent comedy, pop-infused scores and bold new writing, British musical theatre has given us an extraordinary catalogue of songs — and we’re bringing a selection of them together around the piano for one night. Whether you’re a lifelong West End tragic, an Andrew Lloyd Webber devotee, a lover of contemporary British musicals or simply looking for a great night of live musical theatre, grab a drink and join us for a celebration of the songs that crossed the stage in London and found audiences around the world. Want to perform? We’d love to hear from singers who would like to take part in the showcase. Before submitting, please carefully read all performer information at gaypianobar.com/community. Then email your submission by 10pm Wednesday 16 September, including: • An audition video or audio recording of you singing your proposed song • The song and musical you’d like to perform • Sheet music in your preferred key, if you have it • Any other relevant information about your song, arrangement or performance • A suitable headshot or performer photo if you haven’t performed in one of our community showcases before These community nights are all about bringing Sydney’s musical theatre lovers together — on stage and in the audience — for an inclusive, joyful night of great songs, great performers and plenty of piano bar spirit.
